Check Out This Bloody-Good New ‘Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2’ Gameplay Trailer

Sony and Microsoft may have gobbled up the lion’s share of Gamescom headlines, but there were other publishers at the show too! Publishers like Konami who brought along their latest vamp-’em-up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. The game is looking pretty good — more open and action-adventurey than the first Lords of Shadow, which was mostly straight-ahead action with the occasional easy puzzle.

Hit the jump for a nice, lengthy gameplay trailer…

Oh, and here’s a “new” Gamescom story trailer. It’s actually mostly the same as the nigh-incomprehensible E3 trailer, just with a few very interesting seconds tacked onto the end. Jump to around 5:45 for the new stuff…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 now has a release date of February 25th, 2014.
